Missionary Staff

Jeff & Kamanda Bucher – Team Ministry Coordinators
We are excited to be back in San Juan with our daughter Braegan to serve with SRI for a second time. As the Team Ministry Coordinators, we are using our skills to ensure effective ministry is taking place for all those who serve through SRI. This involves planning with teams before they come, as well as following up after their week of service. We also support the Guesthouse Hosts in a variety of ways. We love this city, this country, this culture, and feel privileged to serve our Lord in this manner.Nicole Eby de Rodriguez – Medical CoordinatorHi! I’m Nicole Eby de Rodriguez and I’m a Medical Coordinator here at SRI. I’m a wife to Anthony, a registered Nurse, and have been on site for more than five years. I greatly enjoy the diversity of my job, working in the clinic and with the surgical teams, coordinating patient care, and traveling to the barrios to host mobile clinics with the medical teams. However, my favorite thing to do is simply interact with the wonderful folks that we get to take care of and spend time with.Jon & Alissa Miller – Guesthouse Hosts
Hola! We are the Millers. We are excited to grow new roots in the DR as we have the privilege of serving with SRI as Guesthouse Hosts. Moving to another country is one of many adventures we’ve shared since getting married in March 2017. Some of our favorite things to do are share how God has been faithful in our own lives as well as hear the stories of others. We promise open arms as we welcome you to the guesthouse… a place of growth, service, love, reflection, and compassion.

Ken Potter – REVOLUTION Construction ManagerI am overseeing the building of the new clinic, representing the many wonderful people who have supported the REVOLUTION campaign and am working to see that the construction be as cost effective as possible.

I work as Administrative Assistant, part-time out of my home in Ohio. I’m thrilled to be able to use my skills in accounting to assist the rest of the SRI team. I am so excited each month to see the teams traveling to the DR to serve and give of their time, skills, and resources to support the Dominican people. God is doing a lot of amazing things through SRI and I’m so glad that I can be a small part of keeping some of the many details straight.
